| I never thought it would happen to my HONDA, the all mighty dependable, ever lasting car. The trans ran out last week. Took it to dealer and did the diagnose with check engine light. Code was for "torque converter solenoid failure", which according to the dealer means "dead". Contacted the Honda and pretty much got screwed. I am at 74k, way under the 109k miles nut over on the time. Honda offered discount of $900 form inflated dealer cost for replacement. Bottom line I will have to pay $3k for refurbished trans. Called back Honda and he said because I did not have any service record that they can only make this offer. Thought about yelling and screaming but NO worry, I AM FINISHED WITH HONDA. I will do my best to tell everyone that I know not to buy HONDA. Who can take a chance of spending $3k on a call???? LATER HONDA. Sad thing is Honda knew there was a defect but did not do the recall but quietly extended the warranty. | |

I have a 2001 Honda Odyssey which just have 65,000 miles. I recently notice it transmission oil. The Honda dealer checked it up and told me that I need to replace the whole transmission. I felt really bad until I read some post in this forum thread. Looks like there was a recall for 99~01 Odyssey model just because of transmission issue. Can anyone who had prior experience with Honda America Inc, or local dealers regarding how the recall is handled? Will Honda cover the full cost of replacing the transmission unit? Thanks in advance

Replying to: rritter234 (Nov 14, 2009 6:09 am) First Civic, power are losing after 2-3 months, Honda HIllside NY just ignored my complains. Swap it to 2004 Odyssey same power lost after few months, traded to 2007 Odyssey, one year have to change stabilizer also started to feel that power is losing again. (loud noise engine with slow performance) I DO NOT like HONDA anymore. I started shopping for Toyota or Nissan. Goodbye HONDA

Just received a call from my Honda service rep advising of diagnostic codes P0740, P0730, P0780 on my 2003 Honda Odyssey with 81,025 miles on it. Nearly identical symptoms as those previously reported on this site: Engine Check light - ON, TCS light - intermittently on and off, unpredictable gearshifts to 2nd and 3rd gears under varying driving speeds. Have been quoted $4,789 for a remanufactured transmission, $624 for mounts, among other suggested maintenance items. Have registered a complaint with the NHTSA under Confirmation number (ODI Number) is: 10292179. Will call Jared Stamell tomorrow and include my name/join the prospective class action suit. I suspect that there are many other Honda Odyssey owners who experience this problem and are unaware that a class action suit is in the offing. Wonder how they can be reached so they can be aware of such a development.

| I"m looking for the dimensions for the amount of space between the drivers seat and the passengers seat when the flip up console tray/cupholder is down. Can anyone tell me | |
| After reading several of the posts, I'm wondering if the transmission issues noted in several posts for older models has held true in later year models? I drive alot--over 30K a year and if I'm interpreting the posts correctly, I can expect to see issues with the new Honda I purchased at 90K, regardless of proactive maintenance? Please say it isn't so??? | |
| I have an 07 Odyssey that has never shifted smoothly and has recently made surging sounds under 40mph. Dealer performed service bulletin for software update. Now I have the juddering and bumps between 20mph and 45mph before it shifts. Dealer refuses to repair because they cannot replicate the problem when they drive the van. Called dealer I purchased from, and after 11 minutes on hold for a service guy, they disconnected me. My call to Raymond at Honda was useless. He stated that it's up to the dealer whether or not to repair. I told him I had expected a lot more from Honda, and that is why I purchased the van. I also mentioned the forums on the internet about this transmission issue. He said Honda does not take that into account. I hope they re-consider that perspective because I am ready to re-consider everything I thought about Honda. Anyone know how I can get Honda to replace my torque converter? | |

Replying to: martha07 (Nov 16, 2009 8:18 am) I can see their point here, to be fair. I wouldn't lose sleep over it yet -- you've got till 60k miles, and if it gets worse it should be more reproduceable too. First, learn yourself how to consistently reproduce it (mine was on very slight incline, under very mile accel), then go back in and ask to take the service tech for a ride. Some of the service techs are less skilled in the art of reproducing one of these problems. |
